Please read this before entering. It'll save time for both you and me.

DIY events are AUK routes that you plan yourself. Decide on the distance, design a route with approximately one control every sixty kilometres or so ( but there must be a control at every 'corner'). Check carefully that the shortest distances between controls add up to at least the distance you nominated. It doesn't matter what route you actually ride so long as it isn't possible to ride less than the nominated distance. There is further information on the AUK website. You can buy cards for Southwest and South Wales areas below. Before you ride, go to the online entry form* and complete it with a list of controls and the nominated distance. If you want me to check your route, send an email well in advance. I will endeavour to check it, but it remains your responsibility to ensure your route meets the criteria. After you have ridden, send the completed card to me with all necessary proofs of passage and a suitable SAE.

You must be an AUK member to use the DIY system. Choose the quantity you require, pay via your Paypal account or with plastic, and I'll send your cards. Allow up to four weeks for delivery, though I'll always get them to you as soon as possible. Postage is included in the price.

What Audax Is or Isn'tMudguards are not required for any of these events. Use whatever bike suits you. If you don't want to follow a routesheet then download the GPS file. You will need to be fit and self-sufficient. Most of these events, especially the longer ones, are hard. You should be an experienced cyclist with both fitness and stamina. There is a minimum speed of 15kph for all the events of 200km and above. Don't worry about the maximum speed of 30kph, you won't get near it. Prepare your bike and yourself carefully for any of these events. If you do all the distances, you become an Exeter Wheelers Super Randonneur.
